Noel's head tilted somewhat, observing the look on her face. It shifted, but the change was a bit too quick for him to follow as he hadn't been terribly focused on her face. He chose to ignore it since he couldn't fully deduce it with the information he had; She was smiling now, at least. Good enough for him.

That confident aura she gave off didn't feel like hot air, either. They always brought their A-Game, huh? The Pre-Gym might be in trouble with this one, but that wasn't a bad thing: If she overcame someone there, it'd only motivate them to get better. That was one of the best parts of Phenac, that the majority of trainers were far from sore losers. The Pre-Gym was a place of training, and honing skills. Even a loss was valuable, it taught you about your own flaws, which you could then overcome. 

Sure, Noel knew a few particular bad eggs in the city too, of course. Those kids wouldn't of been as insecure as they were if there weren't older kids picking on them. While Noel wasn't one to play for keeps, those punks got under his skin something foul. He had no patience for someone who would mistreat others, especially young trainers like those he took his time to teach. Beneath the low-effort attitude was a protective spirit like an Ursaring protecting it's young.

"Sounds like a plan then, Sonja." He replied, taking notice of the nurse returning with his sleepy little friend in her arms. He was always so happy and content with the nurses, the sly dog. Noel momentarily turned around to take his partner back into his own arms.

[b]"After a little rest, he should be just fine~"[/b] The nurse chimed, satisfied with being able to help.

Noel gave her a genuine "Thank You." Before turning to take his leave; Noting that he and this woman had places to be, if he had any hope of witnessing her take on the Stadium before he left today. Speaking of Sonja, he had almost forgot to introduce himself due to that momentary distraction.

"Name's Noel. And this little fella is Snooze." An amused grin crossed his face, as he added: "I'm sure you can't guess how he earned that name."
